Getting started with incontinence coverage at the VA
Posted: Tue Feb 25, 2020 6:33 am
just Curious. already a rated Vet 50% for various things.
and was wondering if it would be worth it to try to get the VA to cover some of the supplies I need
and how to go about starting the process.
I have only heard bad things about the types of pads/briefs offered so am more interested
in the wipes/creams stuff that I spend tons of money on every month. maybe even briefs
if I could get coverage for my current use.
I have the weird combo of daily FI with unpredictable UI Urgency . the number of UTI's I deal with
every year is not helping the urgency issues. and they are more than likely from being unable to change a FI incident
as quickly as I would like sometimes.
not sure if any of this is service related due to the fact the FI was a direct result of civilian Rectal surgery while I was in the Air National guard.
but that didn't get bad until I had already retired from mil service.
